What is a rear naked choke?

technique

The rear naked choke is applied from back control. You wrap one arm around their neck, grab your own bicep, and place your other hand behind their head. Squeezing cuts off blood to the brain. It is called "naked" because it requires no gi grips. This is the highest percentage submission in MMA and grappling.
